Despite finishing last in both the girls and boys competition, Tiger head track coach Rich Urquidi saw plenty of positives to be excited about.

"We had quite a few PR(personal record)s this time, and the kids just keep on improving and they're all excited and working hard, so hopefully they can just keep moving up in the places each week."

The Treasure Valley Invitational is tomorrow and Friday at Mountain View, and will feature all the 5A and 4A schools of the SIC. "It'll be a big meet and we'll put together the best group we can," said Coach Urquidi. "I think we'll place in a few things. It should be like a state meet for some of our kids."
